Fire Stopping & Passive Fire Protection Manchester

Fire stopping can be defined as the sealing of any opening to prevent fire, smoke and heat from passing through building compartments. The spread of fire, smoke and heat can be contained by creating fire resistant compartments which segment a building both vertically and horizontally. It is essential that buildings implement fire stopping to restrict fire spread.

Fire doors are a serious contender in the main implementation of creating compartmentation in a building and they are widely brushed over. At Ark Fire Protection we provide a number of services with fire doors, whether you are looking for a new door closer or a full fire door upgrade we can offer fire door maintenance with third party accreditation.

Intumescent coatings for structural steels are a proven and effective method of protecting buildings from the risk of structural damage. All of the intumescent coatings used by Ark Fire Protection have been rigorously tested, meeting EU standards, giving confidence to our customers of advanced protection from fires which may cause threats to the structural elements of buildings.

Fire Barrier systems are designed to stop the spread of fire and smoke in various areas of buildings such as roofs, ceilings and concealed spaces. They’re ideal for voids that are 10.5 metres and smaller. Vertical fire barrier systems offer insulation and integrity for up to 120 minutes, while friction fire barrier slabs provide protection for up to 60 minutes.

Ark Fire Protection provides fire curtain installation and maintenance services. These curtains are made of flexible fibre and designed for areas that are difficult to reach or lacking structural support, such as ceiling voids or lofts. We offer a complete range of fire curtains that cater to your specific requirements.

During building construction, fire partitioning is a safety measure used to limit the spread of fire. It is achieved by creating internal walls and ceilings that contain the fire within a specific area or room of the building for a limited time. This helps occupants to find escape routes and minimises damage to the building as only a designated area is affected by fire.

Fire remedial works encompass a range of manual services aimed at addressing passive fire protection deficiencies in a building’s framework. Our services involve the reconstitution or re-implementation of a range of passive fire protection measures that do not currently meet the required fire safety standards. Our fire risk assessment remedial works are designed to elevate your building’s fire safety standards to the appropriate level – meeting current guidelines and regulations.
